How much takes to get decent on the game?

I’ve been playing the game for about a month, and I’m currently Silver II. I’ve been watching tutorials to improve, and I understand that decision-making is one of the most important aspects. However, a good decision doesn’t matter much if you can’t hit the ball.

Because of that, I’ve been practicing on maps like “Shots You Shouldn’t Miss” and doing basic mechs trainings (powershots, powerslides). Still, it’s really difficult for me to be consistent—even with pro aerial training. It often takes me 5–15 (or more) attempts to complete each stage, especially the ones where you have to hit a moving ball.

So I’m wondering: is it normal to struggle this much? Will I eventually get better at these mechanics?

How long did it take you to become a decent player?
